This free residential program offers high school students a unique opportunity to explore computer science tracks (Arduino/C++ or Python/Machine Learning) while experiencing university life at a top-ranked institution.
The UT Austin Computer Science - Academy for All is a free, week-long residential program designed for high school students entering 11th-12th grade. The program offers hands-on experiences in computer science, allowing students to build coding and teamwork skills. Participants can choose between two tracks: the Standard Edition, which focuses on Arduino microcontrollers and C++ programming, or the Machine Learning Edition, which delves into Python programming and machine learning concepts. Beyond technical skills, students explore tech careers through guest speaker presentations and a potential field trip to a local tech company. The academy also provides a taste of university life, with students learning in the Gates Dell Complex, connecting with current UT students, and participating in various social activities. The program aims to broaden participation in STEM and help students discover their potential as future creators and problem-solvers.
A typical day involves hands-on lab time where students work in small groups on programming projects, attend guest speaker presentations, tour UT facilities, and engage in social activities.
This program is best for high school students entering 11th-12th grade who are interested in exploring computer science, gaining coding and teamwork skills, and experiencing university life.
